(Miss Joyce's Quiet Morning)
*September 24th, 1941*
*6:12 am*
It was yet another cloudy morning as the alarm clock rang which had woken up Miss Joyce as she turned over to shut it off.
"Another day of managing the school library…" Miss Joyce quietly spoke to herself while yawning before getting up from her bed to get ready for school as she entered her bathroom to turn on the shower while stripping down naked as she entered the shower.
"Mornings like these truly make me miss teaching Anya and the others since those kids were quite respectful to me…" Miss Joyce had thought to herself while washing her body as she remembered the previous school year and this continued for a good ten minutes.
*6:23am*
Ten minutes had passed as Miss Joyce had just finished drying herself up from the shower as she quickly changed into her outfit for the day before leaving her other clothes in the laundry hamper as eventually, she had entered the kitchen to prepare a quick breakfast while listening to the radio.
"The sightings of Catman continue to be reported by citizens…" The radio spokesperson had announced as this made Miss Joyce chuckle to herself as she cracked an egg before putting the yolk into the frying pan.
"Catman? I do remember Anya telling me that her younger brother had encountered him back in March.." Miss Joyce had spoken out to herself while cooking her breakfast which didn't take very long as she eventually settled her scrambled eggs into a small plate alongside with some toast as she sat down to eat.
"And for breaking news, The murderer of Anna Potts who has been under the rader for nearly forty years has been finally caught! The sixty two year old man had turned himself into authorities and will receive the death penalty…" The radio spokesperson had spoken out once more as this caught Miss Joyce's attention.
"There's good news! I remember hearing about this case from my mother back when I was a kid so I'm glad that he's getting the punishment that he deserves" Miss Joyce had commented to herself with such joy as she continued to eat her breakfast for the next few minutes before she was officially done with it.
"Whew! That was delicious, Now it's time to drive myself to school or else my boss is gonna give me a lecture about the importance of being on time.." Miss Joyce had spoken out once more while getting up from the table to get to the sink in order to wash her dish as she did just that before eventually leaving her home.
"It's sure been cloudy for the past few days, I sure hope this doesn't interfere with homecoming.." Miss Joyce had spoken to herself while walking towards her car as she entered the vehicle and proceeded to drive to her destination which had taken twenty minutes or so.
*6:56am*
*Highlands High School*
Miss Joyce had finally arrived at the school and quickly made her way towards the library's entrance as she settled her things while sighing to herself before sitting down to begin her work for the day as she suddenly heard a knock which prompted her to speak.
"Please come in…" Miss Joyce had responded back in a polite tone of voice as she looked over to see Greta entering the library which brought a smile to her face.
"Good Morning, Miss Joyce. How's your morning going so far? I hope it's going swell" Greta had asked her librarian in a quiet yet polite tone of voice as she walked towards Miss Joyce to drop off some papers.
"Good Morning to you as well and my morning is going good. I hope that the same is happening to you, Thanks for asking." Miss Joyce had answered back with a smile on her face as she picked up the papers which Greta gave her to place them in a secured place.
"You're welcome and I'm glad to hear your answer as well but what are your plans for the rest of the day?" Greta had asked Miss Joyce once again while waiting for an answer.
"Oh, the usual such as stocking books, doing paperwork and other adult stuff so that should keep me busy throughout the day but how about you?" Miss Joyce had answered back while writing down some paperwork in the meantime while Greta began to speak.
"That's good to hear and I might help Principal Sheldon with somethings and hopefully hangout with Anya and the others if I had the time so that's pretty much my school plans for today but I shall be going now since I have other things to attend to but I had a wonderful time talking with you" Greta had spoken back with a smile on her face as she waved Miss Joyce farewell before heading out towards the door while Miss Joyce did the same thing.
"Hope that the rest of your morning goes wonderful, Greta" Miss Joyce had spoken back as she saw Greta exiting the library as the door closed behind her which prompted her to get up from her seat to rearrange some books that were in the nearest shelf as she noticed a flyer of a young girl who resembled Anya.
"How strange? This person sure looks like Anya to the very bone…" Miss Joyce had spoken quietly to herself as she stared at the photo of the young eighteen year old girl who has the exact same hairstyle as Anya before shrugging to herself as she continued on about with her daily routines for the rest of the morning.
*Highlands High School entrance*
The same young girl that Miss Joyce had seen on the flyer was standing in front of the high school as she was excited for the days that were to come.
"Okay, just one day living as a normal teenager should work for me but I hope that my bodyguards don't catch me or somethin…" The young girl who clearly was identical to Anya had spoken out to herself while letting out a confident smile as she was ready for whatever was coming her way.
